KYTC District 7 personnel to remain on duty
Crews continue to patrol, treat and remove snow
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 15, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises that District 7 personnel remain on duty to patrol, treat and remove snow from routes. Road and air temperatures remain extremely low for all areas in District 7. Dangerous conditions are forecasted for tonight and continuing through Tuesday.
It is best not to travel if at all possible. If you must travel, plan to allow additional time and drive slowly to reach your destination. Be prepared by packing an emergency car kit. Freezing contributes to hazardous driving conditions. Frozen ice causes tree branches and limbs to fall. Crews will be checking for this and will make use of chainsaws for trimming and removing brush as necessary.
Motorists should remember that with low temperatures there is also the possibility of black ice. Black ice forms on asphalt and concrete. Ice develops on bridges, overpasses, and ramps prior to surface level roadways.
